A/N: Thanks for the reviews! Here is chapter 2, I hope you all like it. I do not own Leverage.
''Audrey, sweetheart. It's time to take our seats for dinner.''
Audrey turned around to look at her mother. ''Oh okay. I will be there in a second.'' But when Audrey turned back around the woman from the picture with the same eyes as hers was gone.
''Sweetheart, what is it? Is everything alright?''
''Yes, everything is fine. Let's go eat.''
Audrey took her seat besides her mother and automatically looked around the table for the woman from the picture that she could have sworn that she just saw. But the woman was nowhere to be found. A part of her started to think that perhaps she imagined seeing the woman. During dinner Audrey was quiet and she could feel her mother's worried glance every once in awhile. After dinner her mother confronted her and asked if she was okay. Audrey told her mother she was fine and just tired and asked if she could be excused from the party. Her mother allowed her to go and then Audrey spent the rest of the night thinking about the woman from the picture and wondered if she was really there. Something that stuck out to Audrey was even though she has never met the woman before something felt very familiar about her.
…..
When Sophie Devereaux entered the dinner party and spotted the mark. Soon all eyes fell on her and she found herself surround by a bunch of rich men. She knew she shouldn't have worn that dress; she should have worn something more businesslike. She knew Nate wasn't too happy that she chose to wear that dress for someone or something other than him. He would get over it. As Sophie was trying to fend off the men and make her way towards that mark she could feel someone staring at her. She turned to see who it was and she couldn't believe her eyes. But it couldn't be. The girl did have the same eyes as hers; she had her dark brown eyes. But she's…. ''Audrey.''
''Sophie?... Sophie?... Sophie? What's going on? Is everything okay? Why aren't you answering me?''
The girl turned around to speak to someone so Sophie made a quick escape to get away from the men and answered Nate before he had a heart attack and she was sick of Nate screaming in her ear.
''I am fine Nate but I have to get out of here.''
''Why? What about the job and helping out the client? Did something happen?''
'' I just have to get out of here and take care of something. Sorry.'' Then Sophie took the com out of her ear and walked out of the party and made a beeline for Lucille. Before Hardison could ask what was going on Sophie demanded any and all information on Jack Walker. With the look in Sophie's eye Hardison knew not to question her any further and gave her what she asked for. Sophie was going to tell Hardison not to say anything but she knew better and just got out of there before Nate returned and demand what was going on.
Sophie spent the next few days trying to avoid the rest of team, especially Nate. She tried to learn all she could learn about Jack Walker and what he has been up to since the last time she saw him. She wanted to know everything especially about his family life. She read all the information Hardison had on his wife, Laura Walker. She was very involved in charities and she seemed like the perfect wife and mother. Sophie wondered what kind of person Laura really was and if she knew what kind of man she was married to. Then Sophie came upon the information she was really looking for, the information on Audrey. As Sophie was reading she couldn't help but to feel a since of pride, Audrey was a very smart young woman, she was the top of her class. Audrey's graduation was this weekend and nothing was going to stop Sophie from being there.
Sitting there in the back row and watching Audrey receive her diploma was one of the best moments of Sophie's life. Sophie was proud. Sophie decided that after the ceremony that she was going to try to get Audrey alone and confront her but then she made eye contact with Laura Walker. The woman had a look in her eye that was between worry and fear. Then something in Sophie told her that today wasn't the day Audrey would learn the truth.
…
A few days later Audrey was back at school. She was sitting there in her cap and gown surrounded by her classmates. It was graduation day and Audrey was happy to be getting out of that place. She will have no love loss for the school or her classmates. Audrey had made one friend out of the thousands of students that attended that school. Bella was her best friend and she is the only person she will miss from the years she spent at school. Everyone else for some reason was always cruel to Audrey. Bella said it was because they were all jealous. Audrey was the smartest person in the entire school, she was also the richest. It first it bothering her the way the other students treated her but after awhile Audrey chose to try to ignore it.
''Audrey Walker.'' Audrey stood up and walked to the stage to receive her diploma. Audrey looked into the crowed and she saw Bella with a big smile on her face. Then next she spotted her mother, of course her father wasn't there. Audrey didn't know why she was so surprised. Audrey's mother was the perfect picture of a proud mother, flashing pictures and trying to hold back her tears. As Audrey was exiting the stage she thought she spotted the woman from the picture in the back row but at the time she couldn't go investing if it was her or not. She was hoping the woman would still be there after the ceremony but she had a feeling that she wouldn't still be there. What Audrey didn't realize was that she wasn't the only person who spotted the woman in the back row, her mother did as well which caused her mother to become very worried.
